About me

I started this blog as medical student with a little hobby, but now a fully fledged adult I hold on to crafting as my way to wind down and stay sane. My drawers are full of ongoing, abandoned or failed projects, but that hasn’t stopped me trying!

On a whim I applied for one of my favourite shows on TV, The Great British Sewing Bee on BBC2 in 2016 and crazily ended up a quarter-finalist (quite genuinely, I’m still not sure how that happened! I mean, one of my makes *literally* fell apart during judging…).

Hopefully this blog will encourage you to give some inspiration to get crafting or try something new.

Rumana is a junior doctor who trained and works in London, with a special interest and post-graduate diploma in Medical Education.

Alongside her day job she enjoys sewing and crafts which she collates on her blog, The Little Pomegranate. In 2016 this led to her becoming a quarter-finalist on The Great British Sewing Bee, BBC2. She continues to pursue this passion doing events, sewing articles and blogging modest-wear sewing as well as calling for increased diversity within sewing communities.
